Should we apply capital punishment for incorrigible children? (Exodus 21:18-21), for those caught in adultery? And if you will be honest with yourself, this will include a vast number of people today (Leviticus 20:10). What about the false teachers among us (Deuteronomy 13:1-11), should...

This can be a helpful part of building healthy relationships with other believers - knowing where we have commonalities and where we might...
